it's the final countdown

Anyone remember earlier when Mayo was averaging upwards of 20ppg? That's down to 15.

I see the line-up above reflects this... but Gravy will not play tonight w/ an ankle injury

It's already done. He's our #1 PG at the moment for next season because Vasquez is gone, in my opinion.

I want to finish the season off competitve, win or lose. I want to see a better showing than that flat garbage I saw Sunday

What's the over/under on Vince Carter points tonight?

I somehow get the feeling that Dallas will play even better in their home finale than they did in ours. They'll want to end the season at .500 at least. But yeah, hopefully we'll just get out there and compete.

Yeah probably. I'm just hoping that Monty tore into the team and they come out playing like they have against teams like the Clippers last Friday or the Celtics a couple times in this season... I don't care about a win (I'd rather it not be if it solidifies us as 5th worst record), but just come out and show me some effort.

And make some GD free throws!!!

I agree. Just don't go out there like you don't give a you know what. The other night they played like "is the season over yet?" and the Mavs were playing like they still had a chance to make the playoffs. That was a terrible showing in front of your home crowd in the last home game of the season.

The highlight package on FSNO right now is pretty good. Davis' season highlights were awesome. Gordon's package was pretty short.

If @Hornets win tonight vs Mavs, they'll have a 25% chance of getting a top 3 lottery pick. If they lose, 29%.
Chances of getting #1 pick again: 9% if lose tonight, 7.5% if win.

I will never actively root for my team to lose during a game... but these numbers will quickly tide me over after tonight's loss

Just like his season. I was really shocked they didn't showcase Rivers or even mention we drafted him...

who just wrapped his jacket around Wesley?

Looked like Mike James.

Jenn Hale's got her Hornets colors on tonight since this is the last time she can wear that on this type of broadcast

Tank for a top 3 pick, i just know for a fact we end up with the 3rd overall pick, i just have that feeling. Book it.

I somehow have that feeling too. Don't quite know why though.

could just be excess gas










I kid I kid I kid... and I hope you're right

I can't and will not submit to the tank quest... must resist... Smart deciding to stay makes me sick. I thought for sure we'd be able to get at least of those guys.
